A volume of 75.0 mL of H2O is initially at room temperature (22.00 ∘C). A chilled steel rod at 2.00 ∘C is placed in the water. If the final temperature of the system is 21.50 ∘C , what is the mass of the steel bar? Use the following values: specific heat of water = 4.18 J/(g⋅∘C) specific heat of steel = 0.452 J/(g⋅∘C)

17.78g

Explanation:

Assume there is no heat exchange with the environment, then the amount of heat taken by the steel rod, Q(s), is equal to the amount of heat lost by the water, Q(w), but with opposite sign.

Q(s) = -Q(w)

Remember, Q = mc(ΔΦ)

Where Q = amount of heat

m = mass of steel

c = specific heat capacity of steel

ΔΦ = Initial temperature T1 - Final temperature T2

Q = mc(T1-T2)

Recall, Q(s) = -Q(w). Then,

m(s)*c(s)*(T1s - T2s) = - m(w)*c(w)*(T1w - T2w)

Substituting each values

Note: m(w) = volume of water*density = 75mL*1g/mL = 75g

m(s)*0.452*(21.5-2) = -75*4.18*(21.5-22)

m(s)*8.814 = 156.75

m(s) = 156.75/8.814

m(s) = 17.78g

Therefore, the mass of steel is 17.78g

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.
